Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“You guys are too slow at compiling. I can speed it up. All you need to do is send me the info,” Shane said as he closed the book in his hands. “Also, I’m not reading. I’m preparing for the postgraduate exam.”

“Post… graduate?” Charlotte almost thought that something was wrong with her hearing.

“Yes. I’ve been preparing for the postgraduate exam during this period of time.”

Charlotte didn’t know how she fell asleep. But she probably fell asleep after being startled by Shane.

When she woke up the next day, she was still in a daze.

By the time she arrived at Avery’s house, Charlotte was still in a blurry state. On the one hand, she knew that Shane had quite a few degree certificates. On the other hand, she thought that Shane was taking a break from work during this period of time, but he ended up saying that he was preparing for the postgraduate exam. Charlotte was instantly bewildered when she heard that. She thought that Shane no longer cared about these things anymore.

No, it was not necessarily these things. It was…

Forget it. Her mind was in chaos, and she had no idea what she was thinking or doing.

Avery took his laptop and connected it to the Wifi. He took out a few small printers and placed them aside. “If you need to print something, just use this one.”

“Alright.” Charlotte took one and linked it to her laptop.

Shane took his laptop and connected it to his keyboard and mouse. After the screen lit up, he linked his laptop to the printer. He did not speak, as if he had shifted into work mode.

After a while, Peter and Zoe also came over. Rick and Kendall arrived half an hour later too. However, Kendall had never participated in these investigations. She was always gaming alone in the corner.

They had been busy for the whole day.

“I’m sleepy.” Rick massaged his temples and said, “Avery, do you have coffee?”

“Do you want to nap for a while?” Avery was worried about him.

Before Rick could answer, Shane said lightly, “Sleep more when you can. You won’t know when’s the next time you’ll open your eyes.”

What?

Everyone was stunned. Rick blinked in shock before asking, “Shane, I think you meant, I won’t know when’s the next time I’ll close my eyes.”

“Open your eyes.”

“Are you cursing me?” Rick said with a smirk. It was true that he had a good temper, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t care about being cursed. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to walk towards Shane.

“If you don’t sleep, you won’t be able to open your eyes in the future,” Shane said calmly as he typed away on the keyboard.

“You!”

Rick stopped walking and sighed helplessly.

He didn’t even know how to refute him. After all, no matter how his words sounded, Shane was only worried about him.

“It’s time to sleep. It’s already past 3 am.” Avery looked at his watch and said, “I have plenty of rooms here. You can sleep in any one of them. They’re all the same.”

“All right.”

Rick took Kendall upstairs.

“So they’re sleeping together now?” It was Peter who spoke. Although it was not the right thing to discuss with your bosses, he was really curious about it.

What stage in a relationship were Rick and Kendall at?

“Maybe.” Avery sat down beside Peter and looked at his computer screen. “I just looked through the data you collected. Most of them are related to Christopher. Do you have any opinions?”

“Yes, I think this has something to do with Christopher. Since you all didn’t want to investigate him, I did it.” Peter said as he tapped on the backspace key, “Look at this data. Christopher will transfer a sum of money from NC every month to a public organization that’s helping the fishpeople.”

Avery nodded thoughtfully.

Charlotte’s voice rang out from the other side, “It’s not that I don’t suspect Christopher. I just feel that if no one else is suspected of cooperating with him, then this incident must have something to do with him. If so, we’d better finish the Stevens Family as fast as we can. And about that, we will return to Peter’s question.”

About Rick and Kendall.

Avery looked at Charlotte. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Why do you care so much about Rick and his girlfriend?”

“I personally think that you’d better not look down on love.” Charlotte said, “Of course, you shouldn’t look down on the power of a girl who’s caught between family love and romantic love.”

“If that’s the case, why don’t we split into two groups to investigate? I’ll be with Peter, and you’ll be with Shane.”

“All right.”

However…

Who knew what Shane was investigating?

Avery walked to Shane’s side and noticed that he was actually investigating Caleb. Then, Avery sighed, “You and Charlotte really are a family.”

Shane didn’t even pay attention to him as he continued typing on the keyboard.

Fine.

He was only unnecessary.

Avery returned to his desk, feeling down. As he looked at how Charlotte leaned against Shane and how Peter was beside Zoe, loneliness welled up in his heart.

How nice would it be if only she were still alive?

…

Upstairs.

Rick noticed that there were a lot of rooms, and it was enough for everyone to have a room each. He pointed to the opposite door and said, “You can choose a room to sleep in.”

“Can’t I sleep with you? I’m afraid of being alone in an unfamiliar place. It’s okay if I’m home…” Kendall instantly ran up to him and held his arm. “Rick, I want to sleep with you. Can I?”

Rick was silent.

About that.

Rick had always had a headache about that.

He was afraid of inconvenience. And it would be very inconvenient for them to sleep together because it didn’t make sense to exchange their sleeping quality for a seemingly sweet snuggling session.

If they wanted to hug and lean against each other, they could do it after they had woken up.

“Rick, I only want a small section of the bed, just like how you allowed me to sleep next to you before.”

“That was because you had a fever back then,” Rick said helplessly.

“But I’m afraid of being alone here. Rick, just let me go in with you. I really won’t disturb your sleep.”

Rick slightly frowned and looked at her with a hint of frustration. “Kendall, are you really sure that you’re afraid? Or do you just want to stay beside me?”

“I… ”

Kendall suddenly didn’t know how to answer that.

Of course she wanted to stay by his side. She was already an adult now. Even if she was afraid, she was certainly not that afraid. It was still possible for her to overcome it by herself, but she did not want to. She just wanted to stay by his side.

When Rick saw that she was silent, he instantly knew what she was thinking. He opened the door first and noticed that the bed was spacious, and there was a sofa and a television. So, he sighed and said, “Forget it, you can come in. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

“I won’t disturb you!”

Kendall was overjoyed and went into the room with him.

This room was huge indeed.

It might be around 90 square meters. If it was located in another place, this room could be sold alone as a house. But in Avery’s house, there were at least ten rooms like this on a single floor.

“Avery seems to be very rich.” Kendall looked at the decorations and picked up a candlestick.”This is a product of an interior design company from G Country. If not mistaken, this company has existed for 337 years and is one of the best interior design companies in the world.”

“You seem to know a lot.” Rick took off his coat and turned to look at her. “What else do you know?”

“I know a little about luxuries and design. As for other things, I might not know that much. For example, I can only tell that the price of this carpet is about 3, 000 dollars per square meter, but I don’t know the brand or which factory it came from,” Kendall answered.

She had never thought of that as an amazing talent. Countless people in the circle were better at distinguishing luxury goods than her.
